    Sunday NSD

    Monday £1.10 on an emergency bag of chicken corn + 2 pairs of fleece lined tights from M &* using a 10% off code and qu*dco £17.10

    I reckon I'm on £18.20/£40

    Tuesday Yummy fish and chips for OH and I for supper costing £7.50 tally now stands at £25.70/£40

    Wednesday £5.49 on bottle of wine to take to friend who was cooking supper ~ yummy :o Also spent £20 on some beautiful pre-loved curtains that I just knew he would love, fortunately he did so that is his christmas present sorted :)

    Thursday£30 on haircut and blow dried :eek: I know, I know, but I haven't had it cut for about 4 months and it was looking very tatty :o

    So thinking that puts me on £81.19 / £40 so that's a big fat red ~ better earn some more pennies quickly this week to off set that

    Friday Right gotta get this down to make my total look a bit healthier (obsessive? me? naaaaaah :cool:) £64.01 paid from Qu*dco + £5 H*lifax reward + a mighty 19p interest paid out on z*pa loans so adding £69.20 today back on the total making £11.99/£40 ~ phew that looks a bit better :o

    For only a short while unfortunately £25 on fuel for big trip down south and then £15 on drinks at wedding evening do

    so back to red on £51.99/£40 ~ that'll teach me to think things through more thoroughly :p
